I eat a lot of produce, right? And I have a bit of organic food scrap going as garbage. So I decided to buy a pet. It was gonna be a billygoat, but who's gonna keep him off the balcony during the day?
So I decided on red wrigglers. 2,000 red wrigglers in this urban kitchen. You should see them - they so ... wormy. Just like a boneless aemeobic blob - they so cute. I gave them names, because I want them to know how much they mean to me as a pet owner. But it got too hard to tell them apart. And they were getting a chip on their jelly spine every time I confused them with a sibling.
So I named them all Bruce.
Bruce is the best pet ever. He doesn't have a mouth. He can't chew nuthin. He doesn't have digestive juices either, so the truth is, he doesn't even eat my food scraps, he let's bateria eat them - that's fermentation - that's decomposition ... and he just suctions up the bacteria juice and poops out compost.
Like yeast making wine. But instead of drinking the liquid waste portion, as we grape afficionados do, I water plants with the most nutritious water ever: worm tea.
Worm tea and coconut water. The most nutritionally beneficial liquids available: "Heals wounds instantly. The only thing I used on my last four piercings." Only for one minute though, of course. Since the healing was so very rapid.
Before my very eyes. In fact, I was never hurt.
I was whole long before I was ever seperate.
Like Bruce. Looking like thousands of selves, but only ... one. The image of wholeness. Only one Bruce.

You're amazingly interesting. Good luck with Bruce. The best pet I have is a dust bunny, I didn't even name them. They are more care-free than a cat though so they suit my lifestyle.
Take care of yourself. You bring light to a lot of people, more than you even know or will ever meet.
Bruce is king!!!
I like your blogs!!!
Daniel :)
Bruce kicks dust bunnies as a pet 100%, dude! He doesn't make my allergic friends sneeze at least. And he doesn't follow me out the door masquerading as a new furry addition to my nylons. Like dust bunnies however, Bruce practices auto-procreation. The more you feed'em, the more of him there is!
That's great to hear! I know I have a bunch of him sqirming around in the dirt under my compost pile. I love Bruce! Thanks to you Tonya, I shall forever think of worms as Bruce. hehehe lol. smiles :)
Hey...by the way I checked out "Who Wants To Be a Super Hero" It was neat to see your Rawsome Personality in action. Gosh them dogs were rough! I wrote you on MySpace after the show.
Can't wait to see more next week!!!
You Rawk Tonya Kay! You Rawk!!!
Go Bruce!
Go Bruce!
Thank you for the Who Wants To Be A Superhero love. Yes, my super character is Creature, the planetary health renegade. I figure being a giggling goof on national television is the least I can do if it means turning millions of potential viewers on to lifestyle options they otherwise might have never head of. I know how it is to grow up in Michigan or another open minded, but isolated state (love those lakes!) - sometimes television is the only outside influence a farmtown girl gets. I personally don't watch television anymore (haven't for 15 years), but I know and understand what a massive tool it is for communication with so many people "tuning in". Using our powers for good, not evil! Hehehe.
good work Creature from omega flight super group in city of heros,
